Man in court: Former partner terrorizes woman and her car!

Wien, Österreich - In Vienna, a 35-year-old man was on trial, accused of persistent persecution, coercion and property damage. The defendant, who had a short relationship with the woman affected, bothered her to a frightening extent: he waited for her in front of her house, screamed her and contacted her up to 128 times a day. Threats in which he wanted to publish nude photos and even harass their surroundings caused the woman to distance himself from him several times, which was in vain because he continued to act aggressively, as the article from vienna.at reported.

The accused confessed the deeds and only recognized the emotional and psychological consequences for those affected afterwards. His behavior was worrying when he hit her car, which led to property damage of over 1,000 euros after he found out that she had a new friend. In view of his criminal records and the severity of the acts, he was sentenced to 19 months of unconditional imprisonment. The verdict did not remain legitimate for the time being, since the public prosecutor can appeal within three days.

legal situation and precedent

The legal aspects of this type of harassment and property damage are clearly regulated. The Federal Supreme Court (BGH) found in a judgment that perpetrators often do not expect fatal consequences for third parties, but the behavior remains unacceptable. More precisely, the case law states that not every abuse or threat to a traffic -specific framework can be viewed, provided that the physical deeds are not a clear danger to road traffic, which in turn indicates other legal cases, as dejure.org executed.
